Quarta is also professor at the Swiss Conservatoire in Lugano and artistic director of Orchestra of the National University of Mexico. Simonetta Tancredi, a native of Napoli, enjoys a busy career as a pianist, rptiteur, teacher and chamber musician. She is in demand by leading opera houses and concert halls across the world.

Piano Biography
Piano was originally formed by Jeremy Mortimer and Christopher Haywood, seeking to pursue their musical interests in light of a fluent writing partnership. As numerous members came and went, the band followed a varied musical evolution through rock, hardcore, pop covers, progressive, and neo-classical instrumental work. A renewed focus was discovered with the introduction of Ciaran Cahill, and the band began to gig with the likes of Eden Maine, My Awesome Compilation, Jairus, and Tribute to Nothing.
In 2005 Piano signed to Japanese label Zestone records through whom the debut EP ‘Monogamy is Encouraged’ was released; selling many thousands over the first few months. Shortly afterwards came the departure of then vocalist Ben Jones, enforcing a 6 month hiatus. Piano bounced back recruiting talented vocalist, Daniel Tompkins, and finally producing a new and exciting balance between each member’s solo abilities.
A UK tour followed playing with Secondsmile, Second Monday and The Abner. As a result of the success of the EP and a growing fan base, Piano were invited to headline a tour of Japan in late 2006, playing packed venues with the likes of Lost, Envy and Palm.
In 2007 the band started work on new material, the intelligence and appeal of which was noticed by SikTh duo Dan Weller and Justin Hill; who duly joined the band in the studio.
The track 'Home is where the Heart is' can currently be heard on MySpace.
